Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : Sunshine Wall : Standard Route (5.11- R)
By: Scott Bennett When: Nov 18, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Definitely easy to rap with a single 60m, huge thanks to Kevin for the shiny new hardware. Also, the "11-" var. on P3 felt hard, but is very safe.

Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : Cynical Pinnacle : Rising Crescendo (5.11c/d R)
By: Kevin Stricker When: Nov 18, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Steve, your description leaves out the whole start of the route. The route starts in the Turf Spreader chimney, then traverses out below the TS roof for a spicy pitch to link into the start you describe. This second pitch if taken all the way to the 1st belay of Center route is full value and challenging as you cannot see your belayer for over 150 feet of climbing and you are traversing above sometimes marginal protection (11b R). You can easily break it up into two pitches with the first par... more >>

It looks like you could start it down by the first (chimney) pitch of Turfspreader, and head up left to meet up with your described first pitch. The thin crack that goes left from Center Route to Fender dihedral looks pretty cool.

Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : The Bishop : Craftwork (5.11c)

Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : The Bishop : Bishop Crack (5.12c)
By: stevecurtis When: Nov 17, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I agree with Stetler that this is a great one pitch route. Who cares what people have done before? You can cop a marginal rest, bruising your feet, before the upper section. I took a couple of 40 ft falls on purple metolius going for the redpoint. Most of the upper section, but not all, had good locks for me. My fingers are average for a climber of 30 years.

Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : The Bishop : Psycho Physics (5.11b/c R)
By: stevecurtis When: Nov 17, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I tried this thing with Pat some years ago. The "boulder problem" start was much harder than 11B--never got it. Rest of the route was pretty good, then a little run out at the top.
